If your child suffers from a cardiac condition, it’s necessary a visit to the cardio-pediatrician. The Pediatric Cardiology focuses on the treatment & diagnosis of cardiac affections in children, which can be congenital or acquired. Regularly, cardiac conditions in children are detected from birth or, in some cases, the pediatrician notices them and refer the child to the cardio-pediatrician.
The cardio-pediatrician can treat patients from birth to adulthood, around 18 years old.

Congenital diseases
Congenital heart diseases are generally detected at childbirth, affecting the heart performance, as well as its physique. These diseases are the main cause of death in the first year of life; they are divided in Cyanogen & Acyanogen, this last one known as ‘blue child’.
In some instances, these heart diseases in children don’t appear until adulthood; for this reason, if you suspect of any cardiac condition in your child, it’s vital a visit to the cardio-pediatrician in Tijuana to rule out any possibility of heart disease.

Hypertension
Hypertension, known as high blood pressure, can also manifest in children. If a child suffers from overweight, the chances of developing hypertension are higher, which can also be caused by the own overweight. If this is your case, the best option is to visit the cardio-pediatrician and rule out the risk of cardiac disease. -
Heart murmur
A heart murmur is a sound of the heart, detected while listening to the heartbeats through the stethoscope; usually when it manifests parents get alarmed, however, a heart murmur rarely gets a complication. -

Heart failure appears when the heart doesn’t pump well-oxygenated blood to every part of the body where it’s needed.
